2002 Chevrolet Tracker complaints

CONSUMER STATED HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE BRAKES. ALSO STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE AND TRY TO MAKE A FULL STOP THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT BRAKE WAS CONTACTED AND STATED THAT THEY COULD NOT FIND NOTHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. TS *TT

THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE TIRE WAS WEARING EXCESSIVELY. AS A RESULT OF A DEFECT IN THE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE. CONSUMER HAD ROTATED FRONT DRIVER SIDE TIRE TWICE, AND THEY BOTH WORE OUT. THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE TIRE WAS THE ONLY TIRE WEARING EXCESSIVELY. TS DEALERSHIP STATED VEHICLE DOES NOT HAVE A DEFECT, BUT HAD OFFERED TO MONITOR VEHICLE AND REPLACE THE FRONT TIRE IF THE FAILURE REOCCURRED AFTER THE NEXT 5000 MILES. *TT *JB

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE IN RAINING DAY, APLIED THE BRAKE AND TOOK LONGER TO STOP, CONSUMER STATES ROTOR ARE EXPOSE TO THE WEATHER AND GOT WET. DEALER HAS BEEN NOTIFIED. NLM *YH

WHILE DRIVING AT 45 MPH CONSUMER T-BONED ANOTHER VEHICLE HEAD ON AND NONE OF THE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. CONTACTED DEALER, AND THE DEALER WAS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM, BUT THEY HAD NO SOLUTION. *AK

HAVE BEEN UNHAPPY WITH SQUEALING OF TIRES SINCE THE BEGINNING, BUT WHEN THE AIR PRESSURE WAS CHECKED IT WAS ALWAYS AT THE PRESSURE ON THE DOOR STICKER-26 POUNDS. NOT ONLY NOISE BUT SEEMED TO BE BAD TRACTION-SKIDS TO HALT RATHER THAN STOPS ON WET AND DRY PAVEMENT, ESPECIALLY ON DECLINE. 6/11/02 TOTALLY OUT OF CONTROL, NO TRACTION. WENT TO DEALERSHIP, THEY TOLD ME 26 POUNDS WAS TOO LOW, THE TIRES NEEDED MORE AIR. WHEN I BROUGHT TO THEIR ATTENTION THAT THE DOOR STICKER SAYS 26, THEY SAID THEY COULODN'T TELL ME TO PUT IN MORE THAN WHAT'S ON THE STICKER, BUT THE TIRES NEEDED MORE AIR. CALLED GENERAL MOTORS TALKED WITH A PAT LEWELLEN(MY REQUEST NUMBER S1=909) WHO CALLED THE DEALERSHIP, TALKED WITH THE SERVICE MANAGER BRIAN COOK WHO TOLD HER EXACTLY WHAT HE HAD TOLD ME, THAT MORE AIR SHOULD GO IN THE TIRES. SHE ALSO COULD NOT TELL ME TO ADD AIR BECAUSE OF THE DOOR STICKER, SO SHE GAVE ME THE NUMBER FOR UNIROYAL. KEN FEDYCK-TOLD ME THAT I COULD PUT IN A COUPLE OF EXTRA POUNDS IF I WANTED TO BUT NOT TOO MUCH BECAUSE IF I OVERINFLATE THERE COULD BE CENTER WEAR, IN ANY CASE HE ALSO COULD NOT TELL ME TO PUT IN ANYTHING OVER 26 POUNDS, IT WAS MY DECISION, "IT'S UP TO ME AS THE CONSUMER". I DO NOT THINK THE SAFE LEVEL OF TIRE PRESSURE, WHEN WRONG LEVELS CAUSE BAD TRACTION AND SKIDDING, SHOULD BE "UP TO THE CONSUMER" TO GUESS. IF I GUESS WRONG, I OR SOMEONE ELSE MIGHT DIE. IF THE TIRES NEED MORE PRESSURE TO BE SAFE, THEN IT SHOULD BE WHAT IS ON THE DOOR STICKER. THIS IS A DANGEROUS PRACTICE

VEHICLE CAN NOT BE KEPT ON ROAD, IT WANDERS ALL OVER THE ROAD UNCONTROLLABLY AND DEALER TELLS ME THIS IS THE WAY THEY ALL DRIVE. IT IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE AND CHEVROLET REFUSE TO DO ANYTHING ELSE TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. I HAVE EVEN WANTED THEM TO SEND ME TO ANOTHER DEALER TO GET IT RECHECKED AND THEY REFUSED. *TS ****DIMSII IVOQ ENTRY POSTED AFTER 12/12/02 CUT OVER TO ARTEMIS***761604

CONSUMER SMELLED A LOUD ODOR COMING FROM EXHAUST FAN THAT SMELLED LIKE A BOILED EGG. SHE HAD TAKEN VEHICLE TO THE DEALER 3 TIMES. PRESENTLY, DEALER CLAIMED COULD NOT FIX IT. THEY DID NOT KNOW WHERE SMELL WAS COMING FROM.*AK

WHILE DRIVING ALL LIGHTS ARE LOST, TURN SIGNALS AND HAZARD WARNING, AIRBAG LIGHT LIGHTS,BATTERY LIGHT LIGHTS, ENGINE SPEED IS REDUCED NO POWER TO ENGINE OR ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN INTERMITTENT SINCE I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE.

GEAR SHIFT RING CAME LOOSE, AND CONSUMER COULDN'T STOP VEHICLE. CONSUMER HAD TO PULL EMERGENCY BRAKES TO STOP VEHICLE. DEALER IS LOOKING INTO THE PROBLEM.*AK
